Heads up: Apple iTunes to bring pricing in line throughout EU.

Just a heads up to tell all those considering making a number of purchases from Apple's excellent iTunes that they may wish to consider holding off for a while...

After an EU ruling, Apple have decided to bring pricing across the EU iTunes stores to the same level. In the UK we currently pay 79p per track whilst across the EU they pay about 64p (19% less!) per track. Apple has committed to a new price for the UK though it seems likely that the new price will be somewhere between the 64p and 79p across the EU (hopefully not the higher figure!)

Apple have stated that over the next six months, all EU iTunes stores will carry the same pricing, with recent history showing that they are likely to start with their biggest EU market - the UK - first.
